Moore Street Market Lives!

The Times has a story this morning about a (probable) reprieve for the threatened Marqueta in East Williamsburg. The vendors gathered 250,000 signatures on a petition and got some help from Representative Nydia M. Velázquez and Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez after the city threatened to close the market or force a relocation. The vendors are set to sign a new five-year lease and the market will be administered by the Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation. Gotta love a happy ending—and if you've never been out to the market,which has been there over fifty years, wander over this weekend. It's a great part of the neighborhood.
